Well, the point of the questions being “too hard” (like the hotel rita works in) should have no bearing as the person you are playing against (I am assuming here, never used the app) gets the same questions that you are getting. If the playing field is equal, than the degree of difficulty should make no difference.
And what exactly is “almost” winning? Either you win or lose; what else do you want? You are coming off sounding like someone who got a lot of “participation” ribbons and trophies as a kid, since we all know that in today’s day and age, the idea that every child, even Billy the slow kid who eats his own boogers, is so darn special and unique. Nobody is just plain old mediocre, average or even… :gasp: just below average and destined to be a nothing important in life.
Maybe you just stink at trivia and should just accept it. It’s not that big a deal and, unless you want to make a living by going on jeopardy, generally a pretty useless skill to have all things considered. I mean, you are good at what you do (really enjoyed the article you did a few months back on the startup founder that killed himself), so I wouldn’t sweat it if I was you. I mean, do you really want the app to coddle you and say "good job! you spelled "cat" right! gold star for you!" instead?
